I met Eldon at Maitland Manor where my mother now resides. We were at the same table for the special occasion luncheons for family. He was a beautiful, couteous and true gentleman. I enjoyed our little visits when I saw him. He called me "Sweet Pea" and would give me a little peck on the cheek before I left. I had promised him a photo from one of the Christmas luncheons and he reminded me when I hadn't delivered it a few weekd later! He possessed a great sense of humour, I remember asking him if he wanted me to push his chair for him to get back to his room,he said if I liked, then one of the nurses saw us and said "you know he can do that himself and it is good for him", I said to Eldon,"now I'm in trouble" he replied "I'll take the blame" and chuckled. I missed him yesterday at the family Thanksgiving luncheon, he was a lovely man.
